I think I know the answer, bit maybe I’m missing something

Since proton only sends and receives encrypted emails to other proton accounts, that means that when you get or send an email to someone else, they have to send / receive unencrypted and there is no way for us to verify what they are doing. Right?

Also if most accounts are google Microsoft, they still get 90% of my emails. By switching to proton I think I’ve gained nothing, while losing convenience , added another trust point, and having two different companies have my data instead of just one

Proton drive, calendar and VPN I think are fine

Sorry for the poor syntax. I’m at work working on email related things, and this topic kept distracting me. I might correct it later

    Google is promoting MTA-STS. MS is at least testing it and some others. Proton mail might support, check. I use NameCheap shared hosting mail. They support incoming but not outgoing.

    Sure it is clear inside each org but secures between. Nice because you can secure in your org by contract. Not as good as e2ee of course.

      i read the first part of google’s article about MAT-STS. it is good for secury, but does nothing to prevent providersfor reading in and out email

        No but if you have a contract with a providor you pay for, those are the terms. For example Google free servicies they mine data but their paid services they do not. Sure e2ee is better but transport encryption is good.
